Judgement decided to follow me around while I was doing my morning rounds today. Which is fine, except that he kept running in front of my feet, then flinging himself into the snow in front of me. I finally had to pick him up and carry him, to avoid stepping on him.
He may be one of our most socialized cats, but he’s not THAT socialized! He did not like being carried!
I tried to get a picture of him, but he was moving around so much, it was really difficult. So I am so happy to have managed to get this shot!
This may well be the best picture I’ve ever managed to get of him! He doesn’t even look judgmental, for a change. 😄
We’ve had a light snowfall through the night that is supposed to continue, off and on, throughout the day. Or not. The forecast has changed, again, and now it’s saying the snow should stop within an hour or so. Of course, it’s also saying we have snow falling right now and, as I type this, I’m no longer seeing any. Our high of the day is supposed to get a few degrees above freezing. What that is actually expected to be seems to change every time I look at my weather apps, but we’re supposed to reach our high of the day somewhere around 6pm
Looking ahead in the 10 day forecast, we’re supposed to stay just above freezing for a few more days, then get a couple of days where the highs are below freezing – and then we’re supposed to get highs warmer than 10C/50F. What I’m really looking forward to is when the overnight lows get consistently above freezing temperatures! Well get a few nights above freezing throughout April, but it won’t be consistent until May, at the earliest.
The outside cats are going to really love the warmer nights!
He has lost his other reflective collar before, but I’ve always found it and was able to put it back on. No sign of it this morning, so now he has a spiffy new blue one. We use the collars to make it easy to see which cats have been fixed, but we have only two orange cats right now – Rolando Moon, the grand old lady, and Gouda, who is about half Rolando’s size. So we really don’t need a collar to tell if he’s been fixed. It does, however, make him more visible at night and, if he every visits a neighbour’s farm, they can see that he’s not for target practice.
I got his collar on while I was doing the second feeding for the outside cats. I put out less food, in hopes it will all be gone and there will be nothing to tempt the racoons and skunks during the night. On the critter cam, though, I spotted a skunk at one of the trays, surrounded by about 6 cats, all eating!
After they were fed and watered, I went around to check on things as much as the snow and ice will let me. That included checking on the hose for the emergency bypass from the septic pump. It runs past the rigged fence where the tulips and Liberty apple tree are. On my way back towards the house, I noticed that the snow had melted away along the fence line, including where we’d planted saffron crocuses in the fall a couple of years ago. They had started to come up in the spring, but we couldn’t keep the weeds away, and they were soon choked out. If they had made it, we should have had flowers around August, with saffron to harvest.
Last fall, I didn’t even bother to mulch the area over them. They are a zone 4 crocus, so the chances of them making it was already low, with our without mulch.
Not only did they survive the summer, after being choked out by weeds, they survived the winter without a mulch, and have made their way through the still frozen ground!
After taking the picture, I looked around some more and got another surprise.
They have increased.
Last year, there was a single spray of green where each corm was planted. This year, I saw more sprays, and even clusters of sprays, showing that more corms have developed.
How they had the energy to do that, after the weeds took over, I have no idea. But there they are!
I have no idea how we are doing to do any better to keep the weeds from taking over again, once things warm up, to be honest, but we will definitely be trying.
The rest of the area, where the tulips are, still has a pretty thick layer of snow, so it’ll be a while before we can tell how many tulips survived.
I’m just blown away that even a single saffron crocus made it!
The woman who runs the rescue that’s been helping us gets lots of coupons for cat food on Amazon. She recently got some for kitten kibble, so she ordered some for our colony.
I picked up the 5 bags of kibble at the post office today.
At the moment, the only kittens we have (that I know of) are the two babies in the sun room. Caramel looks like she’s about to explode, so I expect she’ll be having hers soon. It’ll be a while before we have kittens that can eat solid food. At that point, we’ll start including kitten kibble in with the regular kibble while feeding the outside cats.
The Cat Lady is so awesome.
Last night, while chasing racoons and skunks out of the sun room, a couple of cats got into the old kitchen without me noticing. The next time I went to chase a racoon out, I found a brown tabby sitting on the freezer, waiting! The inner door was closed, of course, and he stayed on the freezer as I opened it (most cats run away; even the socialized ones), then jumped out the screenless window.
Then Gouda slunk out from between the garbage bags, looking guilty! He tried to jump out the window from the floor, but didn’t make it, so I picked him up and let him out.
The racoon was gone by then, but not the skunk. I got it out. Both outer doors were tied off, so there’s just a narrow space for them to get in and out. The brown tabby was wanting out, but there was a cat on the other side, so he kept going for it, backing off, going for it, backing off. He was looking quite nervous, but I decided to try and pet him.
He suddenly became SO excited! He was weaving all around my feet, and even reaching up my legs, wanting more pets.
I got some rather bad pictures (it was kinda dark, and he wouldn’t stop moving) and sent them to the family, asking if they recognized him. My daughters said they have seen him around in the last few weeks or so – they get cats visiting their second floor window regularly – but that’s about it. I thought it might be the tabby that got sick as a kitten, and let us tend to him, as the face markings are very similar, but that tabby is more of a grey. This one is a lighter brown tabby. I’m pretty sure I’ve never touched this cat before.
Which means, he is probably a dumped former house cat. He’s too friendly to be from one of the neighbouring farms.
When I’ve tried to do a head count in the mornings, the highest I’ve been getting lately is 35, though some days it’s much lower.
This morning, it was 36.
Last night, I was chatting with the Cat Lady and told her about this cat I found in our old kitchen. Later in the conversation, I remembered to ask her how much she gets charged for spays and neuters. She has been working on getting us spots for 2 spays and a neuter. I was thinking that, if we could manage to snag three females instead, we might be able to pay the difference.
It turns out that the clinic she books us at charges her $145 for a spay, $120 for a neuter. These are the lowest prices I’ve seen in ages. Even when we first moved out here, a neuter was $175 and a spay was double. Spays everywhere else are always double the cost of a neuter.
When I asked about being able to bring in 3 females instead, if we can catch them, and pay the difference, she said don’t bother. They can cover three spays…
And the friendly male!
Which would be so awesome.
She’s out of town right now, arranging things by email and, so far, the clinic has not given her any dates.
I commented on the cost being so much lower than I expected (the last time we went to the clinic in town, a spay was about $350, and that was several years ago). She said this clinic gives her the best prices – it’s the treatment for ear mites, worms and infections that really add up! She told me of one case where she and the clinic had offered someone a free spay for one cat they were caring for, but with the ear mites, worms and an infected foot, the bill came out to $500!
With our cats, we just assume they all have ear mites, and we know that at least some have round worms.
I don’t know what we would do, without the Cat Lady’s help! Even with being able to get lower prices at this clinic, we couldn’t afford to cover the costs completely, ourselves.
After taxes, it will cost about $400. Parts have been getting really expensive. While I’ve found the part online for about $60, that’s been in US$, so it would be a lot more expensive in Canada, just in the dollar difference. Parts in Canada have all sorts of extra fees, tariffs, taxes, etc. – all the extras our government has been adding on for years – so they typically cost about twice as much. Then there’s the cost of labour. The entire door panel will need to be removed. We had to do that when my brother found a replacement door on our van, to move the lock from the old door onto the replacement, and we never were able to get it back together again tightly. Once those clips were popped apart, they did not want to clip back together again as well, so this is not a job I would want to do myself.
We can’t afford a $400 bill at the moment. We just had a whole bunch of work done and need to pay that down more before we can charge another $400.
Keeping the truck repaired and maintains is a much higher priority on our budget than getting cats fixed.
Though, for the amount we’re spending on cat food these days, we could probably get two or three done a month, with ear mite treatment.
*sigh*
Of course, donations of cat food like this sure helps! Every little bit of help is greatly appreciated, that’s for sure!
Today is looking like it’s going to be a gorgeous day. It’s bright and sunny, with some cloud expected later, and we’re supposed to get a high of 0C/32F, which means things are going to be melting all over.
It’s also already been a WTF day.
First up, was finding this when I went outside to do the cat stuff.
The cat cave had been tucked into that cube, but it was pulled out like this, today.
Brussel and her babies are just fine inside, but I have no idea what happened.
Brussel did not leave her babies at any time while I did the outside stuff, even when I tried lifting the cave and discovered they were still inside. It made giving her her wet cat food more awkward. She seems fine with how it is now (I did move that loose piece of carboard aside). I was also able to reach inside and give her head scritches. She growled at me the entire time, but she did not pull away, nor did she try to attack me in any way. I got some squeeze treats to use to try and socialize her more, and I might actually be able to do that, now that the opening to the cat cave is easier to reach.
When doing the morning stuff, I go through the old kitchen (our buffer zone) and the sun room. We tie off the doors – sometimes just the outside door, if the weather is nice – so that cats can get in and out, but the sunroom has shifted. We can still close the inside door, I think, but I don’t think we can close the outside door anymore. The problem is, the rain barrel at the corner was allowed to overflow to the point that the sidewalk block it’s on was undermined and has sunk at the end. It looks like it has also affected the concrete pad the sun room is built on, which means the room continues to shift downwards at that corner. The door frame is no longer plumb, and it seems to be ever so slowly getting worse.
That’s the sun room, though, so not really that big of a deal.
Our main entry doors, however, are another issue.
We already had a problem with the door not latching properly; the door itself is splitting at the latch bolt, and the face place is loose. Sometimes, the door would just pop open on its own.
Lately, though, it’s become harder to open and close. It’s really stiff at the hinges and, when closing it from the inside, you really need to put your shoulder into it. When I was heading out today, I tried leaving through that door, but couldn’t close it from the outside. The bottom half of the door seems to be hitting the door frame. I had to go back in, shoulder it closed from the inside, then leave through the old kitchen door (we do have another door to outside in the dining room, but it is not mobility accessible for my husband, so we don’t really use it). We already know the entire frame and door need to be replaced, but that ain’t cheap!
I had just a quick run to the post office to make today, and was soon back home. After parking in the garage, I went to open the door…
That left me in a pickle. With the console in the middle, it’s not like I can shuffle over to the other door. I ended up messaging the family, asking if anyone could come out. My older daughter answered, and I told her what happened, but I think she was already booting up and heading out and didn’t see the messages. She though I was injured or something!
Meanwhile, it occurred to me, I could just open the window and open the door from the outside. So I gave that a try.
It wouldn’t open.
I tried again.
Nothing.
When I opened the window, I noticed the door was locked; normally, it automatically unlocks when the engine is shut off. I’d unlocked it, but when I reached to the door handle outside, my arm pushed the lock down again. Once I realized what happened, I was able to open the door – just in time for my daughter to reach the garage.
So what I think happened is that I accidentally locked the door after parking the truck, so of course, it wouldn’t open when I pulled on the handle.
Instead, it broke off.
Looking into the opening with my phone’s camera light, I could see the edge of where it broke off, and that was about it.
I have since sent the photos to the garage, asking if this is the sort of work they do or not. They’re not an autobody place, so I might have to go somewhere else. I haven’t received a response, yet.
Until we can get it fixed, I’m going to have to get used to opening the door from the outside for a while.
Also, she seems to now be more expecting and accepting of her wet cat food delivery. She didn’t growl at me this morning, as I used the food delivery back scratcher to drop it as close to her face as I could. She didn’t even bother leaving the cat cave while I was doing the kibble this morning, and simply waited, nursing her babies. Once the food was delivered, she didn’t hesitate to start eating, too.
This afternoon, she did leave her babies briefly after I came out with the second feeding of the day, but went back before I was done refilling water bowls. She didn’t growl at me until I stopped to try and get photos and video of her.
My younger daughter has been having a rough time getting sleep (with both cats and high pain levels to blame), so she ended up awake all night. This morning, she was a sweetheart and shoveled the plow ridge away, and cleared the end of the driveway before going to bed for the day. We haven’t bothered to try and clear the rest of the driveway, or the turn around space in the yard to back up to the house. Though our high of the day was just below freezing, it was bright and sunny, and things are melting all over. I considered doing the Costco run today, but decided against it.
I did make a quick trip into town and stopped at the hardware store to pick up a heat mat. Unfortunately, they were all out. I did stop at the grocery store for a few things, but I will do the Costco run tomorrow. There is a Canadian Tire across the street from the Costco I go to, and I’m hoping they will have a heat mat…
… because our pre-germinated seeds need to be potted up!
The first image has the 4 Sunshine squash and the 6 Mashed potato squash. As you can see, their seed leaves are emerging from the shells.
In the second image, with the 2 Arikara squash and the 5 Baked Potato squash, are just going wild with their roots, as well as the seed leave emerging!
In the last image, the luffa now has 3 out of 4 seeds showing radicals.
I have everything ready to pot these up, except a second heat mat. The eggplant and peppers won’t start showing for a while, yet, and those need to be on the heat mat. The luffa will go into peat pots, so they can fit into the tray with them and be warm, but the rest of the squash will be going into the large celled tray. I might have to just hang out in the basement with the heater on and warm things up. I can also use hot water in the tray to help warm up the seed starter mix, too. The basement, however, was at only 10C/50F when I went down this afternoon. That would be really warm, if I were outside in the sun, but in the basement, it feels cold!
Those germinated seeds need to be put into the seed starting mix, though.
I think I’m going to take the chance and just do that today, then go hunting for a second heat mat for them, tomorrow.
It’s still snowing a bit as I write this. According to the weather radar, we are pretty much in the middle of the system that’s passing over us, but I’m just barely seeing snowflakes fluttering around at the moment. We are still under a snowfall warming, and they are now saying to expect a total of 15-25cm/6-10 inches of snowfall.
Unfortunately, the wind direction was blowing snow right into the kibble house, and the space between the kibble house, the cat house and the water bowl shelter was deep with snow.
On the plus side, there is no longer a big puddle of water on the bottom of the catio! I haven’t returned the food bowl into there, though, and have been leaving kibble on the replacement hammock we put in to replace the damaged one. I can reach that with my scoop of kibble without having to untie the door.
As you can see in the second photo of the above slide show, the cats are quite enjoying the catio!
In the last photo, taken after I shoveled around the shelters and cleared some paths, you can see how much snow accumulated on the shelter roofs. I didn’t go all out on the shoveling, though. We’re going to be warming up again and, even when the temperature is just a degree or two below freezing, things will start to melt.
The yard cats were certainly appreciating the cleared paths around their shelters – and the shelters themselves.
They also seem to really appreciate that I left those box nests under the shrine for them to use. Since one of the kibble bowls under there has disappeared, I started to put kibble inside the box nests as well as the one kibble bowl that’s left. If nothing else, it keeps the snow off the kibble! The cats seem to like eating out of them – and sitting on top of the boxes, too. These cat been built to be used inside the isolation shelter, they seem to be quite useful in other places, too!
There was no way to get them all in a photo, but I counted 13 cats inside the isolation shelter! Including Syndol, lounging on the hammock which, I’m happy to say, is no longer being constantly knocked loose from its hooks. Simply adding a cord joining the two hooks closest to the ramp to the second level seems to be enough to keep it from happening.
I didn’t even notice what The Grink was doing in the second picture above, until now. She’s got her face right up at that heat bulb!! (Yes, it is confirmed: The Grink is a lady.) I’m glad the new clamp lamp has a guard around the bulb, but she’s so tiny, she could easily push her face past it. I don’t think she will, but it’s a possibility.
Brussel seems to have picked up on my new routine for her. At first, when I came out to do the kibble and water, she would jump out of her nest and eat outside. I would wait until she was back with her babies, then use the long handled back scratcher to deliver wet cat food into the cat cave. Since she would be nursing her babies, I tried to drop it close to her face, so she could eat and nurse at the same time.
Lately, she hasn’t bother leaving the cat cave when I come out with the kibble. She growls at me when I take her food and water bowl out of the cage in the evening, then put it back, refilled, in the morning, but she doesn’t leave. She also grows when I deliver the wet cat food next to her, but she now immediately starts eating, without waiting for me to leave. This is encouraging, since one of my concerns is that she will take her kittens out completely, and who knows when – or if – we’d see them again. The mamas don’t bring their babies to the house until they’re ready for weaning and, by then, it’s a lot harder to socialize them.
I’m going to be on the lookout for another small cat cave like the one we brought over for Brussel. If we can fit another one in the cube where she originally went into labour, perhaps one of the other more feral mamas that went into heat really early will have her litter in it, instead of somewhere in the outer yard. We do have another cat cave in the house, but it’s far too big to fit into the cube. Plus, that one is in pretty constant use by the inside cats!
Looking ahead in the long term forecast, it seems this will be the last big snowfall for our area, and April is looking to have daytime highs above freezing consistently. In fact, we are supposed to start getting daytimes highs of 13C/55F and up by the middle of the month.
Of course, forecasts that far ahead are never a sure thing. What we’ll really be starting to look at as the season progresses is the overnight lows. Once the overnight lows are consistently 6C/43F or higher, the soil should be warm enough for cool weather crops. With my winter sowing, that means taking the mulch off the beds so the soil can warm up, and give the seeds we planted in the fall a chance to germinate. Those overnight temperatures, though, are unlikely to hit until the second half of May and into June.
With the current 10 day forecast, the snow we got should melt fairly slowly, which will be good for the garden beds. So far, it looks like we won’t be getting any serious spring flooding. Of course, that could change very quickly, if we find ourselves with an April blizzard. We shall see!
For now, I’m happy with the snow we got. We didn’t have a lot of snow over the winter, so this extra moisture will be good for the farmers’ fields, as well as our gardens.
Today was in incredibly gorgeous day! We actually hit 10C/50F this afternoon!
So, of course, we’re now getting weather warnings for a major snowfall coming. It’s supposed to hit our area tomorrow evening, and we could get 10-20cm/4-8 inches of snow.
I’m still waiting on a blizzard to hit around our anniversary in the beginning of April.
Why?
Because it’s spring in Canada, that’s why! 😄
Meanwhile, the thermometer in the sun room was reading about 23C/73F, which was wonderful for the new babies.
I didn’t get a chance to sneak a pet today, though. Gotta work on that!
Of course, with things melting all over the place, the moat around the garage has started to form. Only the remaining deeper snow and packed ice is keeping it it in check. The path I use to reach the litter pellet compost behind the outhouse is getting pretty deep with water. I’m going to have to dig out my rubber boots at this rate!
The usual low spots are also filling, including the moat that completely encircles the storage house. The gap the cats use to get under it is a big puddle. I’m still seeing cats go under there, which is a bit of a surprise, since the entire “basement” space gets pretty full of water, too.
I did find water in an unexpected place, though.
Inside the catio.
It is likely because I piled snow around three sides to act as insulation. Between that and the area being a bit lower, what has been little more than a puddle this morning has become quite a pool by late afternoon!
I took out the two box nests and the big bowl that used to be a heated water bowl that I used as a kibble bowl. Somehow, water actually got inside the bowl itself! The opening where the power cord used to run through allowed water to get inside, so I ended up setting it on the catio roof in such a way that it will hopefully drain.
The insulated box nest was still partially frozen to the ground, so it took a bit to get that loose. The uninsulated one was resting on top of a couple of pieces of rigid insulation, so it was easy to lift – except for the edge of the blanket inside that had slipped out and was frozen to the ground! Once the box was removed, I hung the blanket over the edge of the catio roof to drip and dry, making sure to weight it down, so it wouldn’t blow away.
In the second picture of the above slide show, you can see where I set up the box nests. Their bottoms were damp on the inside, but these have no “right side up”, so I just flipped them damp side up and set them under the shrine next to a kibble bowl.
There was another kibble bowl under there, but it disappeared a few days ago. I have yet to find it! I assume it got dragged off by a raccoon, maybe?
Magda immediately showed her appreciation for a new surface to stand on. 😁
With the bottom of the catio flooded, she still found a way to enjoy it. She used the brick I have in the doorway, to make sure it doesn’t close all the way by accident, as a dry surface to jump up onto one of the floating shelves inside the catio. From there, she could jump across to the other shelf, where she obligingly posed for a photo. The door was tied off again by the time, so I was sticking my phone through to take a picture, being VERY careful to not drop it into the water below!!
With the protective plastic around the side, plus the clear roof, it’s quite warm inside that catio during the day. Not as warm as the sun room, of course, but still a very noticeable difference.
I’m really glad we were able to give the catio a paint job before putting the roof on. That will protect the wood from the water at least a little bit. The original frame was painted, but the wood lathe I added in places could possible get water damage, since the water would be able to seep between the old and new wood on the bottom. We won’t be able to check for damage for probably a few more weeks, though.
In other things, my younger daughter and I went into town today. We had to go to the pharmacy for her to pick up a prescription, plus a couple other things. I was able to cash in a digital lotto ticket and my win not only paid for her purchases, but lunch and a quick stop at the grocery store to get drinks for the ride home, too – and I still have a bit of cash left over. It’s always nice to win more than just a couple of bucks, or a free play – though I won a couple of bucks and a free play, too! 😄
I also made sure to stop at the post office on the way out, as it closed at noon today. The seed packets from my Vesey’s order came in today, so as soon we were back at home and things were put away and settled, I headed down to the dungeon… er… basement, to start some of them.
There’s always a lot of commotion in the mornings, when I first come out with the kibble. Brussel ran outside, and she ate while she was in the yard. That gave me a chance to check on her baby, and when I discovered a sibling.
She still wasn’t back when I finished my rounds – and I kept having to chase Syndol out, because he wanted to see what those squeaky little worms were! I saw she was just outside the sun room door, so I hung out in the old kitchen, out of her sight, until she was back with her babies. Then I used the bamboo back scratcher again, to deliver a chunk of paté into the cat cave in front of her.
She growled at me, the whole time.
I’d taken out her food/water bowl during the night, so no skunks or racoons would try to get into the cage. It was empty by morning, and the water was filthy. How do racoons get water in even such a small bowl to filthy?? Anyhow, it got cleaned out and refilled, so she has her own food and water bowl inside the cat cage, too. Once she got the wet cat food, though, I closed up the cage for about half an hour, to give her uninterrupted time to enjoy her treat.
So it looks like she has a black and white, along with the calico-tabby.
She is a very good mama.
The Cat Lady is already talking about making an appointment for her in 10 weeks to be spayed. Our job is to get her socialized enough that we can take her in!
Unless there are more babies hiding under the fluff, somewhere!
Interestingly, the kitten seems to be a calico around its head and shoulders, but has tabby markings on its back!
While out today, I looked for a telescoping spoon, or something that would allow us to reach her from a distance. I could only find a telescoping camp fork, and that wouldn’t work. I did get some wet cat food in small packets, just for Brussel. After everything was unloaded, I fed the outside cats early, then used a bamboo back scratcher we weren’t using to hold the cat food and give it to her. She was growling every time I was in front of the cat cage and, of course, while I was passing the wet cat food over to her (she still had plenty of dry kibble and water in the cat cage with her). I ended up dropping the chunk of paté right in front of her.
Then I put the back scratcher in the old kitchen, turned around, and there was Gouda, in the cat cage, head in the cat cave, going for Brussel’s wet cat food!
I got him out, but then Magda jumped in, too.
I got her out, then closed up the door on the cat cage. I’ve got a time going right now, to go and open it up again so she can answer the call of nature. There isn’t room for a litter box in there, right now.
I will likely close her up in there again for the night, though, and open it in the morning, to make sure no skunks or racoons go in to steal her food. Either that, or take her food bowl right out for the night. That would probably be better. Otherwise, the racoons will try and break into the cat cage to get at it.
The live feed on the critter cam is going to be heavily used for the next while!
After watching for a bit to make sure she was okay, I quickly finished my rounds, then checked on her again. I didn’t think she was done, but it was hard to tell. I could see one little calico squirming around, but Brussel is so fluffy, there could easily have been more hidden in there.
What I ended up doing was pulling the entire cage away from the window wall, where it would be colder. I grabbed a cat cave from inside and, after straightening out the blanket bed in the cut next to Brussel, I squeezed it in, using the handle of a broom stick to shove it into place. I’m hoping Brussel will move her kittens into there.
I also got a two sided bowl and set it up for her with food and water. I also changed the angle of the second heat lamp with the warmer bulb to face more into the cage.
She growled at me, the whole time.
I’ve let the Cat Lady know already. We have never been able to get close to Brussel, though her sister, Sprout, is even more feral than she is. But she chose to have her kittens in the sun room, which is a total shock. Given how insanely early in the year it is for having kittens, it was probably the warmest place she could find. Since she is in the cat cage, if we could get a litter pan in there somehow, we could close it up, too. That would keep the other cats – and racoons and skunks – out.
I have the critter cam set facing the cat cage and the live feed up right now. With the cage pulled further from the wall, I can see into it more, but the heat lamp’s shield blocks my view of the corner she is in. I did, however, catch another cat going in to check things out, and was able to use the camera to tell it to leave, which it did.
Hopefully, this will mean we can finally socialize Brussel, and be able to socialize her kittens, too, and get her fixed.
Meanwhile, I need to head out soon to run errands. The family can keep an eye on her while I am gone. My biggest concern is that she will move them out of the sun room completely, which would probably kill the kittens. I know, I know. We don’t need more kittens, but after last year, finding so many dead and dying kittens, day after day, I really don’t want that to happen again this year.
Whatever happens, happens. We’ll deal with things as they come – but I can still try to set things up to hopefully have a happy result!
The Re-Farmer
